Chapter 52(1/2)

50. It’s not appropriate (please give me a monthly pass to recommend collecting and reading~)

A dynasty has gone through hundreds of years, but now the imperial power has fallen, the princes are constantly attacking, the people have been suffering year after year, and the people are in dire straits.

It can be said that the aristocratic family played a considerable role in this process. To promote Quyuan Li, she certainly hopes that the "people" class will own it first.

Of course, she also knew that this was actually... unrealistic.

Nowadays, most of the people who can promote filial piety and honesty and talents to serve as officials are from noble families, and how many of them are from poor families? Even the common people from poor families are in a higher class than "people" in this era.

Now, Yang Shuo wants to give priority to promoting Quyuanli in Mianyang and use it to promote his political achievements. There is actually no problem, Huang Yueying doesn't care.

Even if there were no restrictions, she could predict that if Yang Shuo led his people to work overtime and concentrate on producing Quyuan Li, the number that would end up in the wealthy families would definitely be more than what would be distributed to the common people.

This is equivalent to a wealthy family asking for free prostitution... Huang Yueying feels it is very inappropriate.

Yang Shuo looked confused, then smiled bitterly, "What does the queen mean?"

He originally wanted to promote it himself, but later he felt that he could not abandon Chu Anjun as the rightful owner, but the rightful owner said... it was the county magistrate who wanted to promote it, and this roundabout process made him confused.

"Mr. Yang, this plow is the hard work of my teacher, the flower-growing layman." Huang Yueying sighed.

Ever since she convinced her old parents to believe in the existence of lay flower growers, this vest...has become quite useful.

"This..." Yang Shuo felt a little ashamed.

"My teacher is a plow improved for all people in the world. If all people can use it, I don't know how much energy will be saved."

"What the lady said is absolutely true."

"But, Magistrate Yang, the production of this plow also requires wood, iron, and manpower. How much food will be consumed during this period? If it is produced, should it be given to the people or sold to the people? Magistrate Yang, have you ever thought about it?

"

Huang Yueying's words made Yang Shuo think for a while, and then sighed, "There is still some money and food in the county government account, enough for one month.

However, as the lady said, after the birth, careful consideration needs to be given to how to distribute it to the people."

Huang Yueying smiled and nodded, "Indeed."

Yang Shuo was also a little confused. Originally, to promote the Qu Yuan Li... then the Qu Yuan Li must be used by the common people. Then it must be distributed to the common people, right?

But the number of plows is limited, and there must not be enough to divide it. Moreover, if one plow is applied to each household, the county government will definitely not be able to support it.

"If Magistrate Yang organizes manpower, how many craftsmen can be summoned at most?" Huang Yueying stopped being polite to Yang Shuo at this time. She still had many things to do.

Thinking of this, Yang Shuo smiled bitterly, "There are only more than a hundred people. However, these more than a hundred people are all craftsmen. If there are other tasks such as moving sundries, we can continue to recruit other people to do it."

Huang Yueying nodded and made a rough estimate. There are more than a hundred craftsmen, including craftsmen from other fields. Therefore, after one month, the output will not be too high and it will not be enough to use it for the entire Mianyang.

"Magistrate Yang, if you use the money, grain and property of the county government to recruit people to make a curved shaft plow, the plow produced must belong to the county government, right?"

Yang Shuo nodded, "Of course."

The next second he realized it, "Thank you so much for your advice."

Since the things belong to the county government, of course they are for temporary use by the people and need to be returned after use!

Huang Yueying is helpless. Nowadays, many people only listen to half of what others say, "Don't be impatient, magistrate, I haven't finished speaking yet."

"My lady, please speak."

"Quyuanli will be promoted by the county magistrate, and I will not object." Huang Yueying continued, "But I also have requirements."

"I will definitely obey it."

"The plows produced will be given priority to ordinary people for farming, rather than to... aristocratic families."

"This..." Yang Shuo's eyes widened.

He himself is from a noble family, and if he wants political achievements, he will have political achievements if he establishes good relations with the aristocratic families in the county.

"Does Magistrate Yang think it's inappropriate?"

Yang Shuo did not answer, but seriously thought about the pros and cons.

He was from the Yang family. If he had such a sharp weapon, he would also need to communicate with the clan. If he wrote a letter back, it would be up to the clan to believe it or not. Even if he believed it, it would be too late as spring plowing was approaching...

Even in Mianyang, time is still insufficient.

However, if the other big families in Mianyang can't get Qu Yuanli from him, they might have bad feelings.

This female queen is forcing him to take sides.

Either, go all the way with this lady, or... directly oppose it.

But how can you object!

He also wants to use Chu paper!

The queen is also a disciple of a layman who cultivates flowers!

There are just a few small aristocratic families in Mianyang, but there is nothing he can do!

"It's not inappropriate." Yang Shuo shook his head, "It's just that you can't just say nothing, right?"

"If the number of Quyu plows is sufficient, based on the land deed registered by the county government, one household can only borrow one Quyu plow."

Yang Shuo then laughed. In this way, the aristocratic family... really wouldn't be able to get into many fights. "The lady is right."

"If the number of plows in the early stage is still not enough, then we can only impose restrictions. For one pavilion, up to five plows can be seconded, and the pavilion chief will supervise the cooperation of each household to complete the work."

"This is the best thing." Yang Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, "I will go back to the Yamen and organize the manpower. I will also report to the state pastor and ask for credit for the female monarch."

"Thank you for your hard work, Magistrate Yang."

"If you don't dare, then I'll take my leave first."

"Then I won't give it away."

Seeing Yang Shuo's anxious look, Huang Yueying also sighed. If this could save the people of Mianyang some energy, that would be the best.

Sometimes she really can't do much on her own, as a member of the Huang family. If she fools one more person, she will have more power. Even Pang Shanmin joined Huang Yin's team to encourage farmers a few days ago.

And she also had to take the ethnic studies children to a practical class for an afternoon, and just in time, the rain stopped.



"I never thought that in just half a month, this Zhuangzi... would be so lush." ​​Yang Liao looked at the temporary market with stalls neatly arranged on both sides of the village, and listened with emotion to the crowd of shouts.

However, before he could enter the village, he was stopped by the guards outside the village.

This guard was wearing silver armor, with a big knife at his waist. His eyes were sharp and his body was straight. At first glance... he was an elite soldier. When he came last time, these guards didn't have much armor.

"It's indeed different." Huang Tao also sighed. The Mianyang Huang family is afraid that it will rise soon, and the Jiangxia Huang family will certainly be happy to see it happen.

However, these guards seem to be really practicing.

"Stop here!" Huang Wu stepped forward wearing armor. Today, he was leading the team on duty.

Yang Liao and Huang Tao looked at each other, and the carriages and horses behind them had already stopped.

"Please send a message that Yang Liao, the Yang family, is here to complete the contract with the queen and pay the agency fee."

"Huang Tao of the Huang family in Jiangxia, I would like to see my queen."

Huang Wu then knew the purpose of these two people's visit, "Where are the others?"

"We didn't discuss it, but we happened to meet each other on the road, so we went together." Yang Liao explained, "Is there anything wrong with this little brother?"

"Of course it's inappropriate!" Huang Wu sighed slightly, "Now that spring plowing is around the corner, everything in the village is the most important. Even the female monarch doesn't have much free time."

"This..." Yang Liao was confused. Well, spring plowing is very important, but... doesn't spring plowing happen every year? Why are you so anxious? No matter how anxious you are, the seeds will not be harvested overnight!

Huang Tao is also a little strange. Even if spring plowing is around the corner, then there is no need for Huang Yueying to go to the fields to cultivate the land herself, right?

"Okay, let's go into Zhuangzi. You guys, keep a good guard. I'll go and inform you."

"yes."

Seeing this, Yang Liao and Huang Tao had no choice but to enter Zhuangzi.

When I entered, I found that there was still a lot of construction work inside. Next to the original Chu paper workshop, there was also a workshop being expanded. On the other side, there were several strange stoves that were smoking.

These places are guarded by a team of armored guards.

In the field not far away, there was a group of children standing.

Likewise, there is a team of armored guards there.



Gan Ning looked helpless as Huang Yueying took off her shoes and stepped into the mud.

It was as if he was helpless when he saw Huang Yueying still going out for morning exercises with the escort every day.

In the first few days, the guards were still a little curious, but later they discovered that Huang Yueying had followed her all day long, so more and more people admired her.

But Gan Ning made up his mind early on and would not let Huang Yueying go to the battlefield no matter what in the future.

As for the so-called practical class this time, he didn't understand. What can these children do to practice?

And the practical part is farming.

Among those children from tenant farmers and workers, which one doesn’t know how to plant seeds?
To be continued...
